In the gi-eat harbor of Port Royal the Arabella rode at anchor.. Abeam with the Arabella, across the â- harbor, were the flat^fronted, white buildings of that imposing city that came down to th© very water's edge. On a cane day-bed that had been set for him on the quarter-lock, shel- tered from the dazzling, blistering sunshine by an improvised awning of brown sailcloth, lounged Peter Blood, a calf-bound, well-thumbed copy of Horace's Oeles neglected in his hands. Things had not sped at all well with him in the pa.st fortnight, since his acceptance of the King's commission. .As Blood and Lord Julian had step- ped ashore together, they had l)cen met by lii.shop, who took no pains to dis.semble his chagrin at the turn of events and his determination to change it. "You are lx>rd JuVian Wade, I understand,' was his truculent greet- ing. For Blood at the moment he had nothing beyond a malignant glance. •You have granted, I am told, the King's commission, to thds man." His very tone betrayed the bitterness of his rancor. "Your motives were no doubt worthy . . . your gratitude to him for delivering you from the Spaniards. But the thing itself is unthinkable, my lord. The commission must be cancelled." "I see, sir," said Lord Julian, "that you do not quite apprehend the cir- cumstances. If it is a mistake to grant Captain Blood a commission, the mistake is not mine. I am acting upon the instructions of my Lord Sunderland; and with a full knowl- edge of all the facts, his lordship ex- pressly designated Captain Blood for this commission if Captain Blood could be persuaded to accept it." Colonel Bishop's mouth feJl open in surprise and (jismay. "Lord Sunderland designated him?' he asked, amazed. "Expressly. Let me present Cap- tain Blood." Blood's thoughts were upon this and other things as he lounged there on the day-bed. He had been a fortnight in Port Royal, his ship virtually a unit now in the Jamaica squadron. And when the news of it reached Tor- tuga and the buccaneers who awaited his return, the name of Captain Blood Would become a thing of execration, and befoM' all was done his life might pay forfeit f<,r what would Ik? ac- counted n treaehcrou.s defection. , , (To be continued.) f thrown so hard. Then, If the ftake [ is missed, the shoe travels beyond all I possible scoring distance. I "In throwing an open shoe it should be thrown with all possible ease and land right Into the stake. Many pitch with a twist. This has a tendency to I cause the shoe to land otherwise than I flat, which makes It Impossible to keep a ringer on top of another ringer. "Nearly anyone can learn to throw ' the open shoe by learning the proper hold and making the natural swing. I If the shoe Is not opening at stake, then throw a little higher, that Is, If you are landing In front of the stake. If you are pitching over the stake, then lower your height. This will at tho same time bring your turn of the shoe slower. The position of the hold on the shoe governs this and all de- pends on whether your shoe Is turn- ing too much or not enough. "Always be sure to train yourself to throw the same height, which Is about ten feet. When throwing a ringer always try to top it, throwing the shoe so that the speed Is spent when arriving at the stake. In doing this, If you fall to get on, you will be within shooting distance. When a shoe is leaning against a stake, this being one of J^ hardest conditions to pitch agalnsHyou should learn to throw a low Shoe, or rather hook the shoe straight In. This all depends on the position of the leaning shoe. Sometimes you can drop a ringer down en the leaning shoe, which will cause It to fall, your shoe remaining a ringer. The real object Is to keep the first pitch. The slow one-and-a- quarter shoe is the most scientific and easiest thrown."
